The World Is My Country

Pope Francis says we should not "make fun of faith," but we
point out that blasphemy is a victimless crime. After honoring the
birthdays of freethinking composers Mozart and Jerome Kern, we
celebrate the birthday of founding patriot Thomas Paine, the
deistic freethinker who wrote The Age of Reason, by
listening to Dan Barker's tribute, "The World is My Country." Then
we talk with Steven Hewett, a retired Army sergeant and Afghanistan
veteran who successfully stopped religious symbols from being
displayed at a Veterans Memorial in his North Carolina city.
